  • Am I Eligible?
The Approved Training Program allows the work search requirements for unemployment insurance benefit eligibility to be waived while an unemployed worker attends training/school. In addition to your regular unemployment benefits, you may be eligible to receive up to 26 weeks of additional benefits.
 
To qualify for the Approved Training Program, an application must be received by the Nebraska Department of Labor. If your decision to attend training depends on training approval, apply at least two weeks before you plan to start school. Do not submit an application until registration for classes has been completed.
